Ladies and not exactly "gentle" men.
Now you might be thinking: SPD doing something in GTA about cars. Well, you might think this belongs in a different thread, but let me explain.
I've been curious about select few factors that help or not help off roading. So, I've conducted 3 separate tests that I've been filling my 1 am - 4 am (just now) doing these, with results to show.. probably later.
These tests are not ONLINE, and are car focused.
What are the tests? Test #1 & 2 are with Sandkings, body mods and a barricade in the water. And if suspension determines water clearance. These pictures come later.
A lineup of totally random trucks that are made to climb.. mostly.
From the Merryweather Mesa to the Kalahari.
Then some oddities like the Bobcat XL and the Paradise
The Sandking and two different Dubstas as well.
Another back shot. Most license plates are references, but mostly random things, really.
A true overhead shot. I know there are some missing candidates like the Injection, the Granger, the regular Mesa even. But I can do that later. Now: the test details.
All cars go down this ramp at 10 mph, with a mod that allows me to do so. All cars are also modded fully with performance, and using stock suspension.
The objective is to go as far as they can.
Until this..
When Jim the Private gets out, it means I take a shot like so for everyone to compare.
The lake's depth is constantly going down, but not exactly constant. Anyhow, here's how I tally the scores.
1 - By the lake's n shape.
2 - By the lake's u shape.
3 - reaching the pier.
4 - at the pier.
5 - just past the pier, and more.
The Alpha got a 2. Which is odd. There are some cars in the lineup that got a 1. And a few surprises as well. The best SUVs gets a 4, but some obvious champs are 5s.
Like I said earlier: results later. I'm sleepy.

It's time for a preview at the water clearance test 2 posts back for 2 cars. 3 tests are taken. The best one is recorded.
GO!
Swimming past the first bump.. (a pothole in area 1)
On the uneven entry.. (entering area 3)
Entering area 4..
The Canis taking in a lot of water..
Sunk! But the result this time is a little vague. But after zooming out..
FINAL RESULT:
5 (well done, but it barely did it)
GO!
Managed to beat the first bump in..
Exiting the score 1 area, into 2..
Reaching the pier, it bends..
And it appears the engine goes down for the off roading van.
FINAL RESULT:
3 (reached the pier, but not the boat docks)
Oh..
GO!

Water clearance tests.
GO!
The BeeJay was the first car to perform this test. And it's not bad.
Still strong entering Area 2..
And still so in entering 3..
Reached 3..
But alas.. poor BeeJay.
FINAL RESULT:
4 (this is saying a lot for SUVs, because no SUV reaches 5)
GO!
It enters strong..
BUT WAIT! IT'S GONE ALREADY?!
FINAL RESULT:
1 (shoddy in a race, and worse in river crossing. What a waste, really)
GO!
Bending in, the V12's weight distribution shows.
Slowly in Area 1..
What's this?! It's sunk already!
FINAL RESULT:
1 (the first surprise of the test. As a Dubsta owner myself, this is big big news for my off-roading practice)
GO!
A little story on this Dune Loader's colors: all I did was press random buttons on the mod menu.
Big water, but Dune Loader moves on Area 2.
Entering Area 3's creek, but still going.
Reaching the docks, the rustbucket's gone.
FINAL RESULT:
4 (back at our Crew's younger days, we agreed that the Dune Loader was quite the sleeper. It seems to be true here.)

@OwensRacing sliding my Comet around.
@SSSmokeVex57 is afraid of something. The big sidewalls are a little scary.
SmokeVex's Comet next to mine.
Smoke kicking up some dirt in his comet.

I really miss the Super Drop Diamond. Having seen possible leaks of future updates with could possibly contain the Cognoscenti and an extended wheelbase model, I've been thinking about the SDD again. It's a beautiful car, and now that convertibles work properly, this could be easily implemented in GTA V and Online.
Both of your Comets look awesome, even with off-road wheels!

I thought about getting a Slamvan for far too long...

That color looks great on there! If only we had the wooden bedside extentions that can be put on the Rat Loader for the Slamvan, mother of god would it look great!
Great, now I want to make an old, rusty farmtruck out of the Rat Loader. I wish I had a better second character.

Been meaning to sell my Massacro
..and with the special at Benny's for the Buccaneer, now was a good time to fund another Low Rider
Sure the Massacro is a great car, but I drove it once or twice this year.

Here's final results on the Water Clearance Tests for off-roaders and others. There might be more SUVs coming in, but that's if I feel like it.
SCORE GUIDE, using the picture below as a reference:
1 - By the lake's n shape.
2 - By the lake's u shape.
3 - reaching the pier.
4 - at the boat docks.
5 - just past the docks.
All cars travel at 10 mph, so they can't overshoot when sunk. All cars have stock suspension. 3 tests are taken, and the furthest result is chosen if it's not horribly offset.
The lake's depth deepens at a non constant rate between 1 and 3, but gets constantly deeper from then on. Just past 5 is the death zone for all but probably the HVY Dune (which is not included due to it's massiveness, if that's a word).

Do tell if there's a car missing so I can try it out. I don't want to test out obvious 1s, please.
Not done:
Dubsta 2 (probably same as 1).
Street made SUVs.

Nice rides. I'm liking that Roosevelt you've got there.

But what if Tornado was not kill?
So today since the apartments and cars got discounted...
I decided to finally spend my $6.2 million on two new vehicles...
*drum rolls*
...
The Kuruma (armored ver.) And the T20. It's the first time that I own a supercar in gta online... (for this account at least...).
They're currently stock as I went from $6.2 to $4.1 million so I'm trying to save some money.
Also this is what I have been using ever I got to own one...
Not fully tuned however but still I quite like it.
And here's two cars waiting to be modified...
Other cars I have in my garage are ether tons of stock Elegy's or random stolen cars from the streets (not shown).

I totally agree, it's so wrong but at the same time it's so right
aYou know what? This is probably the first GTA that makes me properly appreciate the off-road vehicles and the like
Trying to run over deer and cougars and stuff in the mountains at night, that's just as fun as it is morally horrible.
